New Zealand Acts

URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACT 2020 - SECT 177

177 Requirements under other Acts satisfied for making of bylaw changes

1 Subsection (2) applies, despite any other enactment, to a bylaw-making authority who is making or considering a bylaw change under this subpart.

2 The bylaw-making authority is not required to—

a) consult before making the change or (in the case of section 172 ) refusing to make it; or

b) consider the views or preferences of people likely to be affected by, or interested in, the bylaw change.

3 If a bylaw-making authority makes a bylaw change in accordance with this subpart, any process or consultation requirements that would have applied, under any other enactment, if the bylaw-making authority had initiated the bylaw change are treated as satisfied in respect of the bylaw change (for example, requirements under sections 78, 155(1) and (2), and 156 of the Local Government Act 2002 and section 22AD of the Land Transport Act 1998 ).
